2021, Maison Benjamin Leroux, BLAGNY, 1er Cru, 'La Pièce sous le Bois'

Medium red crimson, a little more colour than the Savignys. Pure red fruit with a light reduction behind. They just lost 25% of the pinot crop in Blagny as the vines were less advanced than the chardonnay. Slightly darker fruit, backward because of the late malolactic, good structure here, and will deliver a good wine with some substance. A longer finish than many. **** 90-92 Jasper Morris MW.
